Having studied steel naval warships for many decades, (mostly US Navy) I've yet to see an image of an in-service warship allowed to get that rusty.... (but I have seen it in mothballed/reserve fleet ships) THERE! it's been said..... Now that it's been said my friend, I'm gonna tell you what matters most...... YOU! and how you view it.... It is going to sit on your shelf and represents your vision of how it should look.... so it should be a display of your talents.... and this is an expose of talent in prodigious quantity and ability.... Don't worry about it my friend, people who bring it up either haven't researched one nor walked a deck... I would say that they haven't even built a model before so they do not understand what they are seeing.... I'll admit that I'm not a fan of heavy rust on anything, (even my tanks look clean) but what I'm seeing here is modelers art at a level that few can match.... Very, very well done......

RGL Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share #94 Posted November 8, 2020 Thanks all. so nearly there. 2 days work to make up the masts. The horrible thing about plastic masts is how they will hold up under the tension of riggings! A bit of brass to replace. No stays referenced in any of the plans but the photos have them. Non tall ship modellers miss this stuff all the time. so ladders and the seaplane plus the stanchions to go. Once painted, I can start rigging then throw it all together Egilman, Canute, Old Collingwood and 7 others 10 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share #95 Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) So some glueing today. The masts are like spaghetti, soft plastic with strange angles on them. they’ll need some weathering then stays and rigging, then I can put the funnels on and their rigging, and it will come together quickly.

amateur Posted November 12, 2020 Share #100 Posted November 12, 2020 The printing is superb. (Although I am still undecided whether I like the slighlymore clunky looks of the PE more than this almost perfect plastics) Question: what do you use for your rigging? it looks as if you have multiple sizes.

RGL Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share #101 Posted November 12, 2020 I have quite a few diameters of rigging line. Done are so damn tiny you can hardly see them. I just wish they did a grey scale colour or even rust. whilst the 3D printing is perfect it becomes a bit like lego in that you just have to put it on the ship. The only real skill then is painting it properly. eyes don’t have a zoom feature though, and when looked at from a yard away you can’t really tell. amateur, lmagna, Old Collingwood and 4 others 7 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably that the Hull came out the way I wanted.
